Jake's Progress

The adventures of a lurcher in the Scottish capital


Clearly Jake is eating better than Sandy. Seriously, we've been tweaking his diet to rebalance it after reading an article in Dogs Today about making sure your natural-fed dog gets a properly balanced diet. Jake was still on a variation of the vet's original exclusion diet from when his food allergies were diagnosed, and though he was looking pretty well on it we decided to make some changes. He's still getting either turkey or pork for one of his two daily meals, still mostly having tatties as his carbohydrate, but instead of random fruit and cooked greens/carrots on an as-and-when basis, we're moving towards 33% meat, 33% cooked tatties and 33% cooked mixed veg. So it's proper-like.

Sandy, the bowl stand has room for two bowls...

    Dear Jake
    I see that The Owners are telling lies about your diet again. I know that they don't feed you anything at all coz I've seen you eating the weed(s) at the allotment. Come round my house and we can dine on seeds and leafs. And before The Owners correct my Engerlish remind then that leafs is Weegie for leaves.

    You should demand that The Owners feed you on asparagus and the occasional papaya.

    Yours in starvation
    Sandy

Pic of Jake with insane toothy grin

His interests include agility, running like the wind, enticing other dogs to chase him, fellow sighthounds Molly & Steve, squirrels, swans, plush swans, swans on telly, Portobello beach, the Edinburgh hills, sofas, & snoozing. 

Jake wears Earth Dog hemp collars from Mango Mutt. His collar tag (compliant with KC agility regs) is from the excellent Indigo Collar Tags.
